REAL MADRID are preparing to offer Vinicius Junior a new £8.4million-a-year contract, according to reports.
The improved deal is also set to include a €1billion (£850m) release clause in a bid to fend off future interest.
Vinicius, 21, has enjoyed an incredible season with the Spanish champions and has rapidly become one of their most influential players.
The Brazilian has scored 21 goals and provided a further 20 assists in 50 appearances for Carlo Ancelotti's men.
He has more goal involvements in the current campaign than any European-based player 21 years old or younger.
And his supreme performances for Real Madrid have not gone unnoticed.
